	Acre; The Rise and Fall of a Palestinian City, 1730-1831; Thomas Philipp
		Thomas Philipp's study of Acre combines the most extensive use to date of local Arabic sources with commercial records in Europe to shed light on a region and power center many identify as the beginning of modern Palestinian history.
		Acre was markedly different from other cities in the region: its urban society consisted almost exclusively of immigrants seeking their fortune.
		The rise and fall of Acre in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Thomas Philipp argues, must be seen against the background of the decay of central power in the Ottoman empire.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| After the final acre
		The fact is that the Arab world is totally unmobilised, particularly inside Palestine, where the tragic losses are the greatest, the offences against ordinary everyday people the most egregious, and the Israeli plan most close to final realisation.
		With the Oslo Accords, they consolidated their hold on the land by ceding approximately three per cent of the West Bank (which itself constitutes only 22 per cent of the whole of Palestine) to the Palestine Authority, in return for which the Authority won the right to administer Palestinian life without territorial sovereignty.
		What is missing is a sense of public urgency embodied in mobilised Palestinians inside Palestine, in Europe, North America, in the Arab world, who decide that the time has come to face the Israeli threat where it is occurring, on the land of Palestine.

	Zionist Land Acquisition
		Although several of the first Zionist villages (moshavot) were built on this land, the areas were not contiguous and the idea of using land purchase to prepare for Jewish sovereignty was far in the future.
		Other modest purchases were made in 1904 and 1908 in Lower Galilee, Judea, and the Lake Kinneret region, and two forms of settlement that would prove crucial in the land-acquisition enterprise were pioneered there: the cooperative (moshav) and the collective (kevutsa, later kibbutz).
		Personal experiences with the difficulties and triumphs of land acquisition in the Emek Jezreel valley of Israel in the period from 1891 to the 1920s are documented in great detail in this memoir published in 1929.
